In the renovation of a landmarked townhouse in the Clinton Hill area of Brooklyn, the house’s extensive historic detail is offset with modern insertions, some which take the house’s deep, curvilinear forms as the basis for the new elements. With minimal, crisp geometries denoting areas of change, the house retains a record of its historic condition.

An installation for the exhibition Architecture Books - Yet to Be Written at Storefront for Art and Architecture, Storefront Library is the anchor program for the New York Architecture Book Fair.

“Trade”

Cultural, Educational; Brooklyn, NY, USA; 2015.

An exhibit of architectural work within a trade show, seven architecture firms display their trade in its most elemental form: the drawing. A series of angular plywood forms display the work in the manner of a drafting table, or a plywood drawing table at a job site.

Project 1213
“Irish Hills House”

Housing; Onsted, MI, USA; 2012.

Sited in a rural area of Michigan, this house responds to the request for a home inspired by barns native to the region that is also contemporary in detailing and execution.

A blonde wood public space is paralleled with a black-stained wood bedroom, putting two spaces in dialogue with one another while making use of extensive millwork to create storage and hide elements such as air conditioning units.

“Bomb Squad”

Civic; Bronx, NY, USA; 2013.
